The news of the arrest of former Chief Secretary of A&N Administration, Shri Jitendra Narain, IAS was quite a sensational event that bought our Islands under sharp limelight, especially in mainland India. And as for the Islanders, it proved to be a shock to some, a relief to few and an unremarkable source of entertainment for all. Will Jitendra Narain be found guilty by the Court of Law? Will the other accused absconding at the moment be booked by the Police? These are a few questions which are being debated in every nook and corner of this town these days. And why not? It is for the first time in the history of A&N Islands that a senior-most IAS has been booked under Law.
